7.9.2.1 Quad-Valve™ Exhaust Valve

Replacement

1) Remove the Quad-Valve™ Assembly from the

regulator.

2) Carefully remove the two whisker clamps that hold

the deflector whiskers to the main exhaust body .

To allow access to the two exhaust valves in the

Deflector Whiskers™, you must first remove the two

whisker clamps that hold the whiskers on the exhaust

main body.

NOTE: The exhaust valve and whisker exhaust valve

inserts must be placed into the Quad-Valve exhaust

main body correctly to provide gas flow in the proper

direction. The flow must be from the inside of the

Quad-Valve exhaust main body out to starboard

whisker and port whisker.

The exhaust valve inserts are recessed

on one side to accept the exhaust

valves so they sit flush in the inserts.

The exhaust valves must be installed

properly in the inserts or they will not

seal or perform properly.

The exhaust valve inserts must be in-

stalled in the correct orientation in

exhaust main body. If the inserts are in-

stalled backwards, the diver will be unable

to exhale. This could lead to suffocation

and death.

WARNING

3) Remove the two exhaust valve inserts and valves.

Carefully note which side the valves are installed into

and which way they face when mounted in the body.

They MUST be reinstalled facing the same way. See

the illustrations below.

4) Install a new exhaust valve into each whisker ex-

haust valve insert on the correct side by feeding valve

tail through hole in center of valve insert and pulling

on it until valve is seated.

5) Install an exhaust valve/whisker exhaust valve

insert assembly into both seating areas on each side

of the exhaust main body.
